Our Current Vacancy  

We are an outward looking charity with a compelling reputation for delivering professional support services to young people in South West London coupled with the motivation to develop new and innovative responses to young people’s mental health needs. This was particularly tested when the Covid pandemic forced us to quickly pivot all our provision to remote working. However, we met the challenge, training staff in new ways of working and integrating new offers that have now become part of our ongoing work supporting children and young people’s mental health. 

Post-pandemic, the well-documented rise in mental health needs amongst young people has resulted in unprecedented levels of demand for our services. Nationally, the need to modernise and transform mental health services alongside the need to increase service capacity has been recognised and, as a result, we have expanded our staff team and broadened the range of mental health interventions we offer to young people. At our core is a commitment to strong active engagement with young people and creating support that’s relevant, flexible and accessible. Young people need to be ‘at the heart’ of all our service design and we’re committed to making sure young people are able to ‘get help now’ when they first reach out for it, at the point of need rather than availability. 

We’re currently recruiting one part-time Charity Administrator. The post is office based and offers a great opportunity for a varied role in a forward-facing young people’s mental health charity. The job description in this pack provides a generic overview of the Administrator role. Administrators are based centrally with other support staff. Our Administrators are a vital and valued part of our team supporting and enabling the work of our mental health practitioners and the work of the Charity overall. Administrators report directly to the Operations Manager and will work collaboratively within a team of administrators covering different services as needs arise. 

Applying for the Post 

This information pack has the Job Description and Person Specification for the Charity Administrator role. Information about any other available posts is on our website.

To be considered for the position, the Application Form and the Equality & Diversity monitoring form need to be completed and returned via email by 5pm on Friday 23 January 2026. Both can be found on our website.
